The AIA Ohio Scholarship is supported by the AIA Ohio Foundation that exists to further the experience of architecture in Ohio. In keeping with this idea, a primary agenda of the Foundation is to provide scholarships to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs of architecture and facilitate the connection between the profession and future leaders. The AIA Ohio Foundation awards scholarships each academic year to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs attending each of the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited schools of architecture in the state of Ohio. AIA Ohio Foundation board members present this merit-based award to two ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs each year. Winners are often invited to the AIA Ohio Annual State Convention.

The Bronze Alpha Rho Chi Medal recognizes graduating architecture ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs for their leadership and service and what they offer the future of the profession. Established in 1931, Alpha Rho Chi believes strong leaders are just as essential as strong designers. The award was set up to recognize qualities not necessarily pertaining to studio and scholarship. The medal is presented to the graduating senior who has shown an ability for leadership, performed willing service for his or her school or department, and gives promise of real professional merit through his or her attitude and personality.

The ARCC King Student Medal is named in honor of the late Jonathan King, co-founder and first president of the Architectural Research Centers Consortium. The ARCC is an international association of architectural research centers committed to the expansion of the research culture and supporting infrastructure in architecture and related design disciplines. It was founded as a non-profit corporation in 1976 and historically its members have been schools of architecture who have made substantial commitments to architectural research, often by forming centers directed to research programs. The award is given a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ based upon criteria that acknowledge innovation, integrity, and scholarship in architectural and/or environmental design research.

The Association of Licensed Architects Student Merit Award is part of the broader ALA award program. The ALA supports architects and professions related to architecture, throughout their careers and was founded in 1999. Through its awards program it seeks to acknowledge undergraduate and graduate level architecture ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs who have exhibited exemplary achievements throughout the year. Each a graduate and undergraduate ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ receive a Lucite plaque and a complimentary one-year membership to the Association of Licensed Architects. At Miami the award is given to a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ who pushes the boundaries of design.

The Charles E. and Elizabeth C. Stousland Architecture Scholarship was established by family, friends, and colleagues of the Stouslands in 2004. Charles and Elizabeth came to Oxford in 1952 and met in the Theatre Department at the College of William and Mary. Mike was later responsible for the national accreditation of Miami's architectural degree and for initiating the Architecture Department's program of international study. He was an accomplished sculptor and serigrapher. Betty was President of the Oxford Arts Club and the Oxford League of Women Voters. She assisted in raising money for scholarships and sought to raise the profile of the arts in the community. Betty Stousland passed away in 1997, and Mike Stousland died in 2002. Their award goes to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs based on academic merit.

The Earl Reeder Design Scholarship was awarded to architecture ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs in 2007-2008. The following year it was renamed the Earl Reeder College of Creative Arts Scholarship and dedicated to fund activities across the College. A proud Miami alumnus, Earl generously gives back to the University that provided him with an excellent education and preparation for a career in architecture. Like his grandmother Thelma Flanery Reeder, who attended ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ in the 1920s, Earl Reeder believes in the importance of giving back to support future generations of Miamians. As an architect, musician, and patron of the arts, Earl Reeder embodies the spirit of the School of Creative Arts. He continues to support the Architecture and Interior Design Department in multiple ways, including generous donations to the Graduate Symposium each year.

Sterling Cook Scholarship honors the work of Sterling Cook in creating the Art Center in Rowan Hall at ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s Oxford Campus. Sterling Cook first came to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ in 1954 as a graduate ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ in the Art Department, receiving his MFA in 1957. In 1956, he was appointed to the position of librarian for the Art and Architecture Departments until 1972. He then worked with the Development Office to create an art museum for the University, a vision that became a reality in 1978. Sterling was appointed its first curator and remained in that position until his retirement in 1986. He sadly passed away on July 19, 2002. The scholarship that bears his name was instigated by Larry W. Richards from the University of Toronto with generous support from the architect for the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ Art Museum Walter Clark Netsch and his wife, Dawn. The award is split across departments in The College of Creative Arts, with the award in the Department of Architecture and Interior Design going to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs based on financial need and merit.

Their fund supports ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs every year but they have also periodically led Alumni Traveling Studios, bringing together their respective skills in architecture, sustainability (including the consideration of people, planet and profit), and real estate development:
